TC Posted October 19, 2024 Posted October 19, 2024 Mocking up a 1/24 Ferrari 330 gts body obtained as a rough copy of what was likely the Airtrax kit. windshield was very distorted so removed. New windshield frame from italeri Ferrari 250 California kit. Side 1/4 windows and front bumpers from italeri Ferrari 275 kit will remove crude rear bumpers and replace with chopped and modified italeri Ferrari 275 rear bumper 7
beeRS Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 That does indeed look like an Airtrax body. Will look great with some work and it looks like you’ve made a good start. 1
dino246gt Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 Too bad they're not better, but I'm sure you'll make a masterpiece out of it! It certainly is a gorgeous car in 1:1, can't wait to see your work on this. Ciao!
Bainford Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 It's starting to look like a 330. Looks like it is going to take some work, but you have a great start on it. Looking forward to seeing progress on this.

dino246gt Posted March 31 Posted March 31 I love what you're doing with this gorgeous car! "putty, sand, prime, repeat" I've found that putty, sand, prime, clearcoat, putty, sand prime, clearcoat, works to prevent the primer from eating into the putty. Have you chosen a Ferrari colour for this beauty?

Justin Porter Posted March 31 Posted March 31 I am absolutely looking forward to seeing how you can carve a 330GTS out of all of that filler. The resin caster certainly didn't make your life much easier!
